Lyrics

Verse

I gave you my mornings, I gave you my nights,

I held you through storms, I stood by your side.

But you looked right past me, like I wasn’t there,

I poured out my heart, you just didn’t care.

Chorus

Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?

Why couldn’t you hold on when I gave you the truth?

I begged for forever, you just walked away,

Now I’m left with the silence, and words I can’t say.

Verse

I dreamed of a life with your hand in mine,

But dreams fade to ashes when love’s just a lie.

You found your freedom, I found the pain,

I’m drowning in memories that whisper your name.

Chorus

Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?

Why couldn’t you hold on when I gave you the truth?

I begged for forever, you just walked away,

Now I’m left with the silence, and words I can’t say.

Bridge

Maybe I wasn’t the one you were needin’,

But I gave you my soul, I gave it with meaning.

Now I’m just a shadow of who I once was,

Broken and bleeding from your kind of love.

Chorus

Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?

Why couldn’t you stay when I begged you to choose?

I gave you my everything, you threw it away,

And I’m left here still wonderin’… why couldn’t you love me?
